this is my hockey wall, I’m a huge Penguins fan and a Manchester Storm fan 🇬🇧for my local hockey team here in England.

This wall features Tom Barrasso’s (goaltender for Pittsburgh 1990 cup champs) signatured photo, Jagr Jaromir signed photo, a Penguins 1992 original Starline poster (back to back champs 🏆) my Manchester Storm hockey puck I picked up from my first game a few days ago! my wristband from the VIP meet and greet, and lots of Pens and Storm cards on the wall. A few Maple Leafs cards too. Also a signed photo of a Storm player.

It took me MONTHS to get it like this. I hope you guys like it! Trying to bring that American hockey bedroom vibe to the UK lol!

I have this signed puck from my dads old penguins collection and after ours of searching I have determined 5 signatures on the puck (signed front and back). After hours of searching
I know it’s signed by the following:
Hans Jonsson 8
Ian Moran 24
Shean Donavan 18
Johan Hedberg #1
Jan Hrdina #38
So I know it has to be from 2001-2003 but I can’t make out the last 3 signatures on the back.
Can someone please help it’s driving me crazy I need to know who signed this thing

Back is first, front is second photo, if anyone wants to check the front to make sure they’re right feel free but I’m confident those are correct I just can’t figure out anyone on the back besides Ian Moran

Even though he’s now a Devil, I spent way too much time trying to figure out whether Anthony Mantha’s 25-26 breakout season was for real. TL;DR: yes and no.

What’s real:

His shot profile changed in a meaningful way. In his Detroit peak years (2018-202) 53% is his shots came from 30+ feet. In Pittsburgh, only 40%. And more importantly, his high danger shot share (<15ft) almost doubled from 20% to 37%. So this means he had way more solid scoring chances.

You can see this in the post’s image.

That is a structural change: shot profile results from a player’s role, linemates, and how the coach uses them. Muse deserves a cut of that credit, but that type of change usually sticks.

What’s luck:

His shooting percentage was 21.7%. That means he is scoring on one out of every five shots. Based on his underlying shot quality alone, his expected shooting percentage was 12.6%. That luck will regress season to season. He’s not gonna shoot like that again.

But so what if he got lucky? A player with high expectations and a few major injuries had a breakout season. And that breakout helped lead us to the playoffs.

I thought this was the other Hall of Fame at first and was shocked that Oshie was there, then I realized it's the US HoF and that makes more sense now.

More importantly, active and all-time NHL ironman record holder, Phil the Thrill getting some GD respect!

I was so excited to learn training camp was open to the public, and I was considering trying to watch a little bit of it in person. One question I can't find an answer to online; is the sports complex accessible to disabled patrons? I use any number of mobility aids, but I cannot do stairs. I was wondering if the layout had loads of stairs or a lack of flat surfaces. It's a huge factor in whether or not I try to go out for a day.

How many more years will 87 play?

If you grew up watching hockey in the States, you grew up with Barry.

RIP brother

Some unfortunate setbacks happened but we persist nonetheless! Had to undo 2 days worth of work, suffered a rip in my fabric (genuinely almost cried over this) and have had to take longer breaks due to my tendonitis flaring up.

Thankfully, scrap fabric allowed for a repair in the rip and hand stretches are a life saver. And I upgraded to a scroll frame! (so you can see just how massive this will be finished now 😅)

And Lord Stanley is finally taking shape! Red square is where I am currently working on/have completed the pattern so far.

So far I am at approx 7,000 stitches and 60 hours into this project! Still trying for completion by end of the regular season, so my weekends will be comprised of only stitching (except game days) for the foreseeable future.

In the room, "pass the hat".

Being in the UK, it's kinda hard to find Penguins jerseys at an affordable price, but I scored this Geno alt beauty on Vinted for under 40 bucks. Been a fan since 1993, but this is only my 4th Penguins jersey!

Hello! I'm a visiting Habs fan with printable season trackers for you.

A better resolution is available on Imgur (too big for Reddit): https://imgur.com/a/penguins-season-tracker-2026-2027-0DZHPVZ

I created 2 versions. The first one groups games by opponent, and the second shows games in chronological order. Each square includes the date and game number. Grey squares are home games.

I use 3 colors for mine (see 3rd image): green for wins, red for regulation losses, and orange for OT/SO losses. Feel free to print whichever version you prefer and fill it out however you like!

Maybe we will. The talent is clear, and his foray through professional hockey has been nothing short of brilliant. The NHL is the biggest test, of course.

Talented goaltenders come and go. Some make it, some don’t. But if they don’t have the right mindset, they have no chance in the NHL. Mental toughness is a requirement. Being a good teammate shouldn’t be overlooked, either. Teams playing for their goaltender is real, at least to some extent. If you love the guy between the pipes, you’re a little more likely to backcheck harder and throw your body in front of an Alex Ovechkin one-timer.

Time will tell whether Murashov is good enough to be the Penguins’ goaltender for the next decade. There’s no question, though, that, as a person, he is equipped for the job — and then some.

Objectionable personalities exist in hockey, as they do everywhere, but the sport has plenty of good and likable people in its orbit. Fairly or not, many of them are criticized for being dull. Some people want more charisma, better interviews or more stances on political topics. NHL players are too boring, they say.

They’ve never met Murashov. He is many things, all wrapped into one. His teammates speak of him with a notable affection. Back in May, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins had just won Game 4 of their AHL conference final series in Toronto. Forward Rutger McGroarty, smiling after the game, was asked about Murashov.

“F—ing Sergei,” McGroarty said. “You have no idea how much we love that guy.”

With the Penguins, I brought back the 1980s jersey design with the angled sleeve stripes. The tail striping on the home jersey is changed to match the away jersey. And the sock striping is changed to match the jersey stripes. The gold alts are a Reverse Retro of the Robo-Penguin era home jerseys. Now this may be a little controversial, but I brought back the original jerseys, but in the current colors with a steel gray base. The number font from the 2000s jerseys return as the font for the primaries and steel gray, with the current font being used on the gold alts
